Mark 12 (GOFWFTW)

1Yesuusi enttaw leemison yaagidi odis; “Issi uray woyne atakiltte tokkidi, yuushshi aathidi dirssi diris. Qassi he woyniya gum77iya olaaka bookkis. Iya naaganaw adussa shakko shakkis. Hessafe guye, kothe oothiya asaas immidi, hara biitta bis.Then Jesus began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a wine vat, and built a watchtower. Then he rented it out to some tenants and went away on a journey.

2Woyne ayfiyaa maxiya wodey gakkin, bana gakkeyssa ekkidi yaana mela, issi ba aylliya kothe aawatakko kiittis.At harvest time, he sent a servant to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard.

3Kothe aawati iya aylliya oykkidi wadhdhidi, mela kushe yeddidosona.But they seized the servant, beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.

4Nam77antho hara aylle enttako kiittin, entti he aylliyas huu7iya qoo7idi kawushshidi yeddidosona.Then he sent them another servant, and they struck him over the head and treated him shamefully.

5Woyne atakilttiya goday qassika hara aylle kiittis. He aylliya wodhidosona, qassi hara darota hessada oothidosona, issota issota wadhdhidi, harata wodhidosona.He sent still another, and this one they killed. He sent many others; some they beat and others they killed.

6“Woyne atakilttiya godaas kiittanaw ubbaafe wurssethan I daro dosiya ba na7aa xalaali attis. I, “Entti ta na7aa bonchchonna aggokona” gidi, ba na7aa enttako kiittis.Finally, having one beloved son, he sent him to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.

7“Shin kothe aawati bantta giddon, ‘Laattanayssi hayssa; yedhdhite iya wodhoos; iya laatay nubaa gidana!’ yaagidosona.But the tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’

8Na7aa oykkidi wodhidi, iya ahaa woyne atakilttiya giddofe gaxa kessi holidosona.So they seized the son, killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.

9“Hiza, woyne atakilttiya goday waatanee? Yidi he kothe aawata wodhi onggidi, woyniya kothe oothiya hara asas immana.What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others.

10‘Gimbbeyssati boridi ixxida shuchchay godaa xaphuwa minthiya, ubbaafe aadhdhiya shuchchu gidis. Hayssi Goday oothidabaa; qassi nu ayfiyaaskka malaalisiyabaa’ yaageyssa Geeshsha Maxaafaappe nabbabibeekketii?” yaagis.Have you never read this Scripture: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.

12Kahine halaqati, higge asttamaaretinne cimati Yesuusi he leemisuwa bantta bolla leemisidayssa erida gisho, iya oykkanaw koyidosona, shin asaas yayyidi, aggi bidosona.At this, the leaders sought to arrest Jesus, for they knew that He had spoken this parable against them. But fearing the crowd, they left Him and went away.

13Qassi iya odaappe bala demmidi, iya oykkana mela, Farisaawetappenne Heroodisa baggatappe guutha asata iyaakko kiittidosona.Later, they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to catch Jesus in His words.

14Entti iyaakko yidi, “Asttamaariyaw, neeni tuma odetteyssanne asappe ase shaakkonnayssa nuuni eroos. Neeni ase dummayakka; qassi Xoossaa ogiya tumatethan tamaarssaasa. Nuuni Roome biittaa Kawuwa Qeesares giira giireyssi wogeyye woga gidennee? Giira giiranee agganee?” yaagidosona.“Teacher,” they said, “we know that You are honest and seek favor from no one. Indeed, You are impartial and teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not? Should we pay them or not?”

15Shin entta cubbotethaa Yesuusi eridi, “Tana ays paacetii? Ane issi santime tana bessite” yaagis.But Jesus saw through their hypocrisy and said, “Why are you testing Me? Bring Me a denarius to inspect.”

16Entti iyaw ehidosona, “Ha malaynne sunthay oodeysee?” yaagidi entta oychchis. Entti, “Roome Kawuwa Qeesareyssa” yaagidosona.So they brought it, and He asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.

17Yesuusi zaaridi, “Yaatikko, Qeesareyssa Qeesares, Xoossayssa Xoossaas immite” yaagin entti iyabaa malaalettidosona.Then Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.” And they marveled at Him.

18Hayqqida asi denddenna giya Saduqaawetappe issi issi asati Yesuusakko yidi, hayssada yaagidi, iya oychchidosona.Then the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and questioned Him:

19“Asttamaariyaw, Musey nuus higgiya xaafishe, ‘Machcho ekkida asi na7a yelonna hayqqiko, he hayqqidayssa ishay iya machchiw ekkidi, ba ishaas na7a yelanaw bessees’ yaageyssa xaafis.“Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man is to marry his brother’s widow and raise up offspring for him.

20Beni wode laappun ishati de7eyssatappe bayray machcho ekkidi, na7a yelonna hayqqis.Now there were seven brothers. The first one married and died, leaving no children.

21Nam77anthoy iyo ekkis, ikka na7a yelonna hayqqis. Heedzanthoyka hessada hanis.Then the second one married the widow, but he also died and left no children. And the third did likewise.

22Laappunatikka hessatho iyo ekkidi, na7a yelonna hayqqidosona. Ubbaafe guye, qassi he maccasiya hayqqasu.In this way, none of the seven left any children. And last of all, the woman died.

23Yaatin, laappunati iyo ekkida gisho hayqqida asay hayqoppe denddiya gallas, iya enttafe awussas machcho gidanee?” yaagidosona.In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”

24Yesuusi zaaridi, “Hintte baley, Geeshsha Maxaafata woykko Xoossaa wolqqaa eronna gishossa!Jesus said to them, “Aren’t you mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God?

25Hayqqida asay hayqoppe denddiya gallas, salon de7iya kiitanchchota mela gidanaappe attin adde asay ekkokona; macca asay gelekkona.When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like the angels in heaven.

26Shin hayqqidayssata dendduwabaa gidikko, Muse maxaafan xaafettida xuugettiya buuriyabaa odiya bessan, Xoossay Musekko, ‘Taani, Abrahaame Xoossaa, Yisaaqa Xoossaa, Yayqooba Xoossaa’ gidayssa nabbabibeekketii?But concerning the dead rising, have you not read about the burning bush in the Book of Moses, how God told him, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?

27Hessa gisho, I, paxa de7eyssata Xoossaafe attin hayqqidayssata Xoosse gidenna. Hintte daro balideta” yaagis.He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!”

28Higge asttamaaretappe issoy entti palameyssa shiiqidi si7is. Qassi Yesuusi enttaw loythi zaaridayssa si7idi, “Kiita ubbaafe aadhdhiya kiitay awussee?” yaagidi Yesuusa oychchis.Now one of the scribes had come up and heard their debate. Noticing how well Jesus had answered them, he asked Him, “Which commandment is the most important of all?”

29Yesuusi zaaridi, iya hayssada yaagis; “Kiita ubbaafe aadhdhiya kiitaa si7ite; ‘Isra7eele asaw, Goday nu Xoossay issi Godaa.Jesus replied, “This is the most important: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One.

30Ne Godaa ne Xoossaa ne kumetha wozanappe, ne kumetha shemppuwafe, ne kumetha qofaappe, ne kumetha wolqqaafe dosa’ yaagees.Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’

31Qassi kiita ubbaafe aadhdhiya nam77antho kiitay hayssa; ‘Ase ubbaa ne huu7iyada dosa’ yaageyssa; hayssatappe aadhdhiya hara kiiti baawa” yaagis.The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.”

32Higge asttamaarey Yesuusakko, “Asttamaariyaw, tuma gadasa; neeni ‘Xoossay issi Xoossaa xalaala. Iyappe attin hari baawa’ gidayssi tuma.“Right, Teacher,” the scribe replied. “You have stated correctly that God is One and there is no other but Him,

33Xoossaa kumetha wozanappe, kumetha qofaappenne kumetha wolqqaafe doseysinne qassi ase ubbaa ba huu7iyada doseyssi, xuuggiya yarshshuwafenne hara yarshsho ubbaafe aadhdhees” yaagis.and to love Him with all your heart and with all your understanding and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself. This is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”

34Yesuusi higge asttamaariya zaaroy aadhdhida eranchcho asa zaaro gididayssa be7idi, “Neeni Xoossaa kawotethaafe haakkabaakka” yaagis; hessafe guye, Yesuusa harabaa oychchanaw oonikka minnibeenna.When Jesus saw that the man had answered wisely, He said, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” And no one dared to question Him any further.

35Yesuusi Xoossa Keethan tamaarssishe, hayssada yaagis: “Higge asttamaareti Kiristtoosa woygidi Dawite na7a goonaa?While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, He asked, “How can the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David?

36Dawitey Geeshsha Ayyaanan kumidi, ‘Goday, ta Godaa, “Taani ne morkketa ne tohoy yedhdhiyaso oothana gakkanaw, hayssan taappe ushachcha baggara utta” gis’ yaagis.Speaking by the Holy Spirit, David himself declared: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand until I put Your enemies under Your feet.”’

37Dawitey ba huu7en Kiristtoosa, ‘Godaa’ gidi xeegikko, yaatin, Kiristtoosi waanidi, Dawite na7a gidii” yaagis. Daro asay Yesuusi geyssa ufayssan si7idosona.David himself calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?” And the large crowd listened to Him with delight.

38Yesuusi tamaarssishe, hayssada yaagis; “Higge asttamaaretappe naagettite; entti adussa ma7o ma7idi yuuyeyssanne giyankka asay entta bonchchidi sarotheyssa dosoosona.In His teaching Jesus also said, “Watch out for the scribes. They like to walk around in long robes, to receive greetings in the marketplaces,

39Entti Ayhude Woosa Keethatan daro lo77iya oydiya dosoosona; qassi asi banttana mokkiya bessan bonchcho bessi dosoosona.and to have the chief seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.

40Entti am77eta keethaa bonqidi, banttaw lo77o daananaw woosa adussoosona; entti ubbaafe aadhdhiya pirddaa ekkana” yaagis.They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”

41Yesuusi Xoossa Keethan muxaata yeggiya saaxiniya matan uttidi, asay ba miishiya he saaxiniyan yeggeyssa be7is; daro dure asay daro miishiya he saaxiniyan yeggoosona.As Jesus was sitting opposite the treasury, He watched the crowd putting money into it. And many rich people put in large amounts.

42Issi manqo am77iya yada, nam77u bakkannata he saaxiniyan yeggasu.Then one poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which amounted to a small fraction of a denarius.

43Yesuusi ba tamaareta xeegidi, “Taani hinttew tuma odays; muxaata saaxiniyan yeggida asa ubbaafe ha manqo am77iya darssada yeggasu.Jesus called His disciples to Him and said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more than all the others into the treasury.

44Ays giikko, harati ubbay bantaw palahida miishiyappe yeggidosona. Shin iya ba pacciyaafe, baw de7iya aquwaa kumethi immasu” yaagis.For they all contributed out of their surplus, but she out of her poverty has put in all she had to live on.”
